Old Black Swan Metal Riser with Pronghorn Limbs

[tippit]

I picked up a old style Black Swan metal riser that the limbs bolt on the front of the riser.  I'm planing on converting it to DAS platforms.

But in just playing around with it and some other T/D limbs that I have, I made an amazing discovery.  Pronghorn limbs are the exact match with bolt hole and locator pin hole to keep the limbs in alignment!  The Pronghorn limbs are also the same width.  They don't match at the top with a little bit of over hang but that is hardly noticeable.  I also just happen to have a few extra Pronghorn limbs too.

My Black Swan/Pronghorn bow shoots great.  Also loving the real small handle on the Black Swan.  Now I'll drill and tap a hole on the back of the riser to add my leather strap Sniper Hog light. I love to tinker...tippit

They look good on there and the strung profile looks fine.

Did you get an increase in poundage? Looks like it might've looking at where the fades end up on that riser... looks great to me.

[FerretWYO]

That is interesting. looks like it will work

I was just thinking, You don't have enough bows!!!  Pretty cool!!

[tippit]

It actually feels like a little less poundage.

Nice going Doc.

There a lot of difference between pad angles or is the Swan riser that much longer? You get to loose a few yet?

The Pronghorn riser & Black Swan riser both end at the same place on the limbs so there is no difference in the amount of over hang in the fades.  The angles on the Black Swan are slightly straighter & slightly longer than the Pronghorn riser. Both shoot very smooth.  Just kind of a fun project.  I'll probably still convert the Black Swan to DAS...but it could be a great Hog knock around bow.

Here I am retired One Day after Selling my Veterinary Practice yesterday!  Looking for things to do.  I guess it' now time to start selling tippit knives and quit screwing around since I'm unemployed
